Yeah I dont like that maxroll skips Fast Footwork/Bounding Stride/Frothing Berserker in the M+ guide 🤔
(it takes Intimidating/2pt Overwhelming Rage) instead.

dire hinge
#

those are pretty flexible points, it wont make or break you taking one or the other

eternal vortex
#

Rip MS and OP

frigid lava
#

No more smashing 1.3M+ MS 😦

thorn tulip
#

so cleave fully instead of ms and ss in aoe? wicked

old urchin
#

If it’s more than two yeah.

frigid lava
#

SS should be used often.

#

collateral dmg hits hard

manic stirrup
#

all of those points dont really matter

#

having a higher rage cap means less overcap, though i personally only take 1 point so i can have bounding stride

smoky kayak
#

Yeah, a lot of it really comes down to preference

  • Frothing is technically DPS, though it's very minor
  • Overwhelming isn't usually needed as Arms, but can occasionally save you some rage
  • Bounding/Fast Footwork always feel nice to have, though how strictly useful they are can vary
  • Int Shout is another pseudo-interrupt, but I find that low CD Shockwave + Storm Bolt is more than enough

Maxroll guide was made by Revves the legend himself

#

Frothing is such a joke overcooked

muted plaza
#

So after todays arms nerfs, is fury going to overtake it for raid?

#

purely looking at prepatch rn

olive nest
#

I’d play what you’ve been playing

#

Or play both whenever for whatever reason

minor gust
#

It's prepatch not like it matters play what you want

slow saddle
wanton sierra
#

man im quite likin the arms colossus, i know 2 sec on hold is dangerous and quite hard to master... do u think it shall be viable or im crazy and i shall proceed with slayer?

#

i mean on m+ scenario

smoky kayak
#

it's perfectly viable; the channel is hasted so it's pretty fast in practice, and you can still use defenses or leap out of it in an emergency

olive nest
#

Let me introduce you to my friend parry

wanton sierra
#

ye... probably more dificult on push keys... when anything is lethal / deadly

#

its like an dance, if you step wrong you dead xD

ivory quartz
#

if you never had issues with the leggo in push keys then you'll have less with the channel

wanton sierra
#

oh now i get it sorry, i didnt played 4th season df... never had thhe leggo

#

i was on classic era xD im commin back to retail now... 490ilvl

gaunt owl
#

swear to god sometimes they parry from the side even

ivory quartz
#

sometimes i dream about patch notes that remove the target requirement and the root and then i wake up

wanton sierra
#

ye target requirement is bad.. should be like AA or frontal cleave cone

#

hope its strong! i loved the 5%size increase talent ^^

dire hinge
#

servers are back up for NA 👍

dry frost
#

Whats our overall loss with the MS + OP Nerfs?

smoky kayak
#

it was actually already present in sims, since it was a beta change and there's only one branch atm

noble oxide
#

is ravager bugged for anyone else? I throw it out and it just dissapears and does no damage

smoky kayak
#

wouldn't be surprised if a lot of shit is bugged tbh, but I haven't had a chance to check yet

uncut pasture
#

did dreadnaught get nerfed too with the OP nerf?

smoky kayak
#

yes

rocky dune
#

Guessing our output pre hero talents feeling rought after the tune up of the last few weeks.

smoky kayak
#

Arms has been really strong throughout pre-patch

#

but this tuning was largely for L80, pre-patch is practically over at this point

dry frost
#

Not like the nerf really hurts our position

#

In the present that is

toxic hull
#

ravager is a cosmetic spell now, just enjoy the 0.1s of beauty

rocky dune
#

yea my ravager disappearing too but i think the output still there

dry frost
#

I mean just dont run rav lol

fair lintel
#

unhinged seems to be working but I dont see any damage from ravager itself

rocky dune
zealous pivot
#

rip ravager

dreamy egret
#

thats a very nice glitch wonder how long we will have to deal with it.

toxic hull
#

season 2

zealous pivot
#

idk but rip i guess i raid fury

#

im not bladestorming in raid 😠

#

oh fuck it doesnt matter

#

fml

dreamy egret
#

im going to really miss this

#

not paying for repairs the entire expansion almost was amazing

#

didnt seem like it hit us too hard

kind geyser
#

how hard does fatality usually hit for you folks

woven wasp
#

that means nothing its damage is directly proportional to how long it took you to proc it

#

and since you dont play ToM anymore the only that can actually change how much damage it deals are pots or ebon might

#

and just now im realising you dont play fatality any more at all when i went to check my logs keks

dreamy egret
#

I mean meh it isnt 700k anymore but its still something

#

the item upgraders are broken?

#

maybe it was just elvui causing glitches

smoky kayak
#

but yeah, Fatality is down bad because it doesn't benefit from the (currently huge) spec scaling aura or mastery

#

so that's like 60-70% damage its missing right off the bat

vast helm
#

can they at least fix the Glyph of TC for Arms and Fury?

clever parcel
#

i left evoker for this muahahaha

smoky kayak
#

not really much else to take

#

though if they don't update some addons pretty quick, my move is just gonna be to sit keks

mild dagger
#

I haven’t been keeping up with anything, but did our rage generation take a hit or did my week off just tint my memory with rose colored glasses

dire hinge
zealous pivot
#

its not as bad with execute talents

#

almost feels normal

livid cloak
#

ravager seems to be working?

#

just threw one at the target dummies

real vault
#

works for me too

#

archi sandbaging keks

manic stirrup
#

nice its fixed

#

fixed for prot as well

smoky kayak
real vault
#

🫡

spark epoch
#

Why they make it so charge goes on cooldown until you land when you leap

#

This needs to be fixed

dull karma
#

hey sorry to ask this, but whats the rotation for opener on single target? Rend, Mortal, TR, Skull, CS+Avatar, Ravager?

#

also, is it normal for ravager to be doing this

#

at 528 ilvl

#

i dont remember it being so week

#

?

#

any1 miss being venthyr and having condemn ?

#

lol a keeblio, then a keeb

#

oh its doug now

#

@opaque hinge why did you delete your comment lol

venthjyr was vampires actually not demon lol

Vampires that were… say it with me

#

Infiltrated by dreadlords

Demon Vampires

#

Ah I had it backwards, the dreadlords were created by the vampires

silk spade
uncut pasture
#

You will crawl to me on your knees.

latent moss
#

thats what colossus is telling me

#

i have to Demolish is a 2 second channel, and the Warrior is unable to move or use other abilities while channeling, similar to Eye Beam. A Colossus player will have to think tactically about when and where is optimal to use it. This is an intentional part of the flavor of the ability.

tacit cedar
#

did they do something to arms rage generation between last week and this one? it feels awful today

teal fossil
#

No it’s been awful since prepatch

teal fossil
#

You have to consider the interaction with unhinged

latent moss
#

whats this

#

never heard of this

tacit cedar
latent moss
#

maybe u had skyfury idk

#

or u lost crit

tacit cedar
#

maybe, i was sitting at about 44% unbuffed though

latent moss
#

waiting for aas in execute or

tacit cedar
#

just in general, maybe i was slamming too hard but i was just getting blasted by a fury warrior in St and AOE when last week it wasnt even close. i know we got nerfed and they didnt but still

latent moss
#

i guess yeah

#

rage starving can happen

#

when u are unlucky with tactician

#

u can always charge weave ratge

tacit cedar
#

tac what? that has a proc chance?

#

lmao i dont see it

latent moss
#

spending rage has a chance to refund a charge of overpower

tacit cedar
#

i know i know, im saying it almost never resets for me

latent moss
#

oh

#

yeah happens

tacit cedar
#

maybe i just was screwing myself because i was using exhil blows and not SS in m+?

#

idk

#

it felt weird

#

sks*

latent moss
#

exhil blows feels good but its giga mid

#

sks helps for sure

#

and exhil blows

#

drains ur rage bar

#

very fast

#

with back to back ms procs

tacit cedar
#

i also didnt have finishing blows which may have been an issue too

#

hm

latent moss
#

nah

#

finishing blows sucks

#

this is what i played

tacit cedar
#

ill give that a try. i was trying the prio damage build

latent moss
#

idk if its possible to get more prio than this

#

this is a tww build tho idk how it plays without colossus

#

i played exhil blows

#

instead of massacre

#

cause i enjoy exhil blows

#

and its prepatch no one cares

#

but massacre is massive

#

you can drop massacre/sks for bonegrinder

#

if u dislike sks playstyle but i recommend getting used to it

#

with uproar its stupid how strong it is

tacit cedar
#

i like sks for raiding, i havent used it in M+ yet

#

so it should be an weasily include

latent moss
#

yeah it just kinda

#

bloats ur opener a lot

#

cause u play blunt insturments so u need SS for both CS adn SKS

#

a lot of setup

#

for nothing

#

but its still the most optimal

manic stirrup
#

massacre is bad

#

pick bonegrinder over it always

#

other than that thats a great build and what i use on live as well

latent moss
#

i cba finding it rn u can sim it but massacre is a massive increase on st/prio

dire hinge
latent moss
#

while being a small loss on aoe

#

but this was pre nerfs

#

maybe something changed

#

and as colossus

#

as colossus

#

5t vs st

magic canopy
#

MS nerf in this week

#

Sadge

latent moss
#

most random nerf ever

#

it just cursed us

#

with only pressing ms with 2 tierset

#

stacks

magic canopy
#

its for with hero talents so it doesnt really matter rn

latent moss
#

its giga cursed

magic canopy
#

but its pretty sizable atm

latent moss
#

colossus lost like 1mil

#

on max ms

dire hinge
#

now we'll only do the damage of 1.5 outlaw rogues instead of 2 sad_cat

manic stirrup
#

it doesnt make sense to me tht mbg is only 100k gain in aoe

#

how long is that sim

latent moss
#

u get around 3 cleaves in mbg

#

3-4

#

massacre doesnt really have any real value its just mbg being weak

#

and being useless on st

#

apart from maybe collateral if there is some cleaving and u get to stack it

manic stirrup
#

you get a big collateral in though

#

feels pretty big to me

latent moss
#

yeah but

#

when this happens on 35%

#

cant compete

#

when u stack colossal might in 7 globals

#

massacre is weak in aoe i agree

#

but its so strong on st

manic stirrup
#

oh beta

#

i mean its not very strong on st either lol 50k isnt rlly much

latent moss
#

i mean for a single point it aint bad but it aint good either i agree

#

u dont get to really press exe

#

no critical thinking

#

it eats ur rage bar

#

it sucks

#

cause their solution for fixing our rage in execute

manic stirrup
#

i just wasnt thinking about beta and how it works with colossus bc i dont have it

latent moss
#

is to increase execute rage refund and gatekeep it behind 2 points

#

if anything colossus wants more cleaving than not but idk i didnt sim prepatch

#

me when no juggernaut execute

#

peak gameplay i must say

sinful kraken
#

Man I was considering switching to arms for the first time but seeing all this opened my eyes to how shit this looks

wicked aurora
#

Imagine

#

If they made execute hit really hard

#

And gave us SL rage economy

#

Sheeeeeeesh

tacit cedar
#

unless im doing something terribly wrong, why is overpower like 7th on damage in the breakdowns now

tacit cedar
#

yeah 20% kinda hurts

wicked aurora
#

Call me weird but I enjoyed having to manage rage

tacit cedar
#

i just think its weird to see overpower below rend dot damage on St bosses when i OP 40 times and apply rent 8

#

rend*

latent moss
#

thats the entire point of the spec imo

dire hinge
minor gust
#

im fine with managing rage as long as I have buttons to press

#

im im standing afk waiting then its gg

manic stirrup
#

if charge wasnt super aids on certain enemies id be fine with it

#

but its so hard to not lose auto attacks and charge weave sometimes

#

bc hitboxes

nova marsh
#

Considering the mental gymnastics charge does on it's own...

#

I really don't went to charge weave keks

minor gust
#

Any 90 degree angle charge enjoyers

nova marsh
#

No

#

That shit bricked one of Temple of the jade serpant keys in DF s1

minor gust
#

good times

manic stirrup
#

temple of thr jade serpent bricked s1

#

almost perfect class balance but had cos sbg and temple

#

like come on man

#

and thundering lol

#

fuck man that season couldve been so good

#

early s2 was really good too

outer holly
#

90 degree angle? charge kept attempting to mimic a sound wave in s3

nova marsh
#

Dude thatt shit literally pulled the second pack of the last few pulls between sha

#

That crap was SO bad

minor gust
#

I kept getting a funny charge bug on Fyrakk prog where I would charge right as he lands from intermission and I would shoot 20 yrds past him and almost off the platform

dire hinge
#

i had one in Neltharus on the blacksmith boss that ran me out to the edge and pulled the pat and back in to the boss 😐
fire trail and everything

nova marsh
#

ya know charge jank is what makes warrior funny

#

You don't know WHAT it's gonna do! keks

latent moss
#

yeah i love when it just trolls me on zskarn

#

and charges me through 5 traps

minor gust
#

🙂

nova marsh
#

Look

#

Charge going halfway across the universe away from your target is just part of the class fantasy copium

#

na that shit don't even go halfway across the universe

#

Charge literally Task manager ends wow, pulls up any other game on your comp, and then relaunches wow at your current target

modest marlin
#

signet brand isn't that great for random dungeons and levelling right?

swift flame
#

If you can chain pull so that it never resets its goatered

#

Otherwise just use one of the stat sticks

#

In practise i imagine everything dying too fast for it to matter tho

modest marlin
#

grieftorch is always useful too, but I bought that first

rare kite
modest marlin
#

seems fine against rares and stuff

#

#

cross server guilds is finally letting me go back to some of my old horde chars

a tauren warrior using a totem is just good

#

those ones weren't as cool

#

Do people play Colossus or Slayer in beta m+ runs?

dire hinge
#

it's beta so folks play both to test things.
Performance wise, Slayer is doing a bit better in all content atm.

glad mango
#

i just ran them

swift crown
#

for a bit of context the way simc works is it pulls spell data from files and determines the amount of damage a spell should do for example by directly referencing that data. As long as a nerf is indicated in spell data it's automatically applied to raidbots, as any change in spell data triggers a rebuild of the simc build for raidbots. Of course this only works for builds after the spell data changes. The Weekly build from monday obviously didn't have them yet as the spell data change wasn't applied to live servers.

#

Is this rly with the nerfs ? I did latest build

#

Not smort enough to figure it out myself

granite spindle
#

Sorry if this is a stupid question but shouldn't we cast Thunderous Roar after Colossus Smash so the initial hit benefits from the 30% damage increase?

#

Just cause the Wowhead guide has Thunderous Roar ahead of Smash on the prio

swift crown
midnight mural
#

Dang.. arm still fuck good lol

#

My last fury dim didnt even break 500k.. not turbo optimized but like, its still quite far off.

swift crown
#

Yea the OP nerf at least definitely seems to be present in spell data (AP coefficient 1.54->1.23)

thick kelp
granite spindle
#

ah ty

echo isle
#

dumb question, i am following the wow head rotation(s) for arms and wanted to know why Mortal Strikes comes before Overpower, when you can get more damage output if you use Overpower (increases damage of your next mortal strike) before Mortal Strikes. Is it because you get somehow more dps with that rotation from wow head ?

thick kelp
#

In a ingame situation you will be going 3 globals between each MS which means that you will naturally get 1 or 2 OP buffs on it before the nxt one

#

and it deals the most damage out of our rotational abilites so pushing it as often as possible outside of execute is the goal of the spec

tropic umbra
#

Yeah, overpower stacks are nice, but mortal strike slaps, so you always hit it when you can

frigid lava
#

I'm getting a crap ton of error messages 😦

magic canopy
#

with the OP and MS nerfs in arms feels way eaker then it did last week without hero talents

#

thats for sure

opal wind
#

Well, pve nerfs are obvious this week. Supposedly we got some pvp damage back though I'm yet to test it this evening

#

9 days till tww early access, no point in getting angry about the nerfs anymore

tropic umbra
#

Getting to the point where it just is what it is.

@thick kelp@tropic umbra thanks !

#

Hc/mythic week tuning should hopefully bring us up if we need buffs. Though thane actually just needs help for St at this point

fresh spire
#

Thane scary

#

Intervene from thane has the same bs power as anti magic shell

#

Time to be a chad and babysit your shamans in raid

magic canopy
#

i feel like thane is going to get crazy sneak buffs, but it might also fall into the fury pitfall

#

where ST is aoe

#

and it just stays kinda mid on both

fresh spire
#

They need to buff the hero trees monstrously sorta like they did for slayer so it doesn't buff slayer as a trade off

magic canopy
#

prot could also use some juice

fresh spire
#

As its like 260k behind slayer in raw St sims

magic canopy
#

yeah its really rough even when i was testing it

fresh spire
#

Prot warriors gonna catch up on St at this rate

magic canopy
#

it also has a uniquely weird issue where you press CDs and half your fucking bars light up

#

the spec just feels akward

What's the best tinket setup for m+ where no one is running WII or OCE?

thick kelp

Is icon worth it if just the healer is wearing it in a dungeon group?

bright whale
#

Hey i am thinking of starting up an Arms Warrior (i was also looking into 2h Frost DK) but idk which will have easier time progressing to end game for TWW PvE ?

thick kelp
#

Depends what end game is for you

bright whale
#

Like doing open world/pve contents and trying to raid and m+ but as casual

thick kelp
#

Then whichever one is more fun for you

#

Level up both to 80, try them out and decide on that

bright whale
#

idk i rather focus on 1 though not fan of alts

thick kelp
#

Try them both on beta then, if you have access

#

you can level up or go straight to dungeons

#

from what I have heard about FDK they seem to be leaning heavily into DW even for oblit builds

#

But their hero talents are miles ahead of warriors in terms fun and theme IMO

bright whale
thick kelp
#

Go look at some youtube or streams of those specs then but keep in mind most if not all FDK gameplay will be DW and not 2H

south merlin
#

I started a survival hunter as alt.
It is really fun to play.

  1. It is melee
  2. It has alot of abilities that helps u dodge/move out of shit in raids or M+
  3. Quite good dps also
  4. Has some range which is not found in warriors
bright whale
#

I'm also deaf so asking stream wont help 😭

thick kelp
#

Well you can just watch them for the gameplay and there is like 90000 "What is best/most fun" hero spec yt vids to look at that might possibly have some subtitles

bright whale
#

idk i been trying to decide past 3 days and hard even i have carpal tunnel syndrome if i didnt i would gone fury

untold trench
#

If you are thinking about that, you might concider going a caster

thick kelp
#

Well frost and arms arent exactly the best specs to play with carpal tunnel

#

A caster would be much healthier for that

bright whale
#

I played casters last 3 expansion and ended up not liking them even quitted Dev Evoker

untold trench
#

Fair, but ye - most melee got the same APM load. Some exceptions being things that press a lot of off GCDs, aka tanks.

Slowest, well, more forgiving to play with lower APM, would prob be UDK?

thick kelp
#

I wouldnt call even UDK slow

untold trench
#

Yeah, why I used the word forgiving

thick kelp
#

Maybe assa rogue since they have to pool their energy etc

untold trench
#

True, locked GCD at 1 too

thick kelp
#

even ww isnt that slow anymore since they get haste scaling now

untold trench
#

Rogue get haste scaled GCD now? Never knew

glass sphinx
#

is fury better than arms in live ?

untold trench
#

Yes and no, depends - Fury is more fun tho gladge

bright whale
#

I seen slayer fury is super strong

#

But idk cause atm dont have TWW or a sub yet (getting paid this weekend)

#

Sorry

storm prism
#

Definitely gonna be a caster season. Loads of mechanics that force you off of bosses/packs.

bright whale
storm prism
#

And if you're playing evoker play an Aug. Even with the util nerfs they're pretty much mandatory in higher end content.

storm prism
#

Yes. They are extremely strong.

manic stirrup
#

they arent asking about high end content

storm prism
#

Okay but even in mid tier keys and heroic raid augs are strong

manic stirrup
#

also you cannot possibly know if aug will be strong next season

manic stirrup
thick kelp
#

If u arent playing mythic raid top10 WR picking aug is bait

#

Your co players wont be good enough for you to get aug damage out

storm prism
#

Yeah that's true

manic stirrup
#

i agree that aug will almost certainly be strong for a group of players with hands

#

but most ppl lack hands

storm prism
#

Sometimes I forget that everyone isn't pushing IO

#

But if you plan to push for CE then Aug is definitely a good option

#

And if your guild isn't composed of shit cans they're good in heroic raid as well.

manic stirrup
thick kelp
#

If u arent in liquid, echo or method most likely oyur guild is composed of shit cans

#

Cuz I know im a shit can

storm prism
#

My guild is full of gamers

#

I consider myself lucky

thick kelp
#

gajeel every raid for atlest 3 members on every boss?

#

99 doesnt count chatting

storm prism
#

I consider anything over an 80 good tbh

#

Myself and a few others consistently parse in the mid 90s

thick kelp
#

ic we have different perspective of good

storm prism
#

Sorry but you don't have to a top parser to be good

#

If someone is better than 80% of the people that play their spec then yes I consider them good

thick kelp
#

optimist mindset

manic stirrup
#

a lot of bosses parses are just complete degenerate pad as well

storm prism
#

Yup.

#

Green and lower is bad. Blue is average. Purple is good. Yellow is fantastic.

thick kelp
#

what about pink or orange

narrow flax
#

dont exist

#

:)

thick kelp
#

noo

#

my parses dont exist :(

hazy flower
#

😦

thick kelp
#

nvm my diurna parse from fated is safe

storm prism
#

I'm just looking at this from a realistic average player standpoint. We don't push world first so I don't need 8 people parsing in top 10 to clear.

thick kelp
#

Yeah forsure

#

Purple parse shld be good enough for majority guilds considering applicants

wanton sierra
#

hyped to try the colossus arms!!!

thick kelp
#

Even blues for your average late CE guild

hazy flower
manic stirrup
#

getting late ce is so easy the hardest part is having 20 ppl show up

hazy flower
#

Ongod

thick kelp
#

yep

hazy flower
#

In my prev guild we had lots of raid nights cancelled

#

Because we just didnt have people

narrow flax
#

same

#

have had own guild with friends 3 times

hazy flower
#

Even with 1 social playing

narrow flax
#

got to like

#

6/10 mythic

hazy flower
#

And it was wr800-900

narrow flax
#

in multiple raids

#

and then people just stop showing up

storm prism
#

In my old guild we stopped at smolderon because two healers quit. We had gotten him to 13% the night before. I was big sadness.

#

So yeah I'll take a consistent blue parser over some flakey top 20 dickhead any day.

hazy flower
#

🤨

bright whale
storm prism
#

Pick what looks cool and roll with it.

storm prism
hazy flower
#

I dont see any correlance between logs and showing up

storm prism
#

I didn't say there was one I'm not giving an example I'm saying I'd rather have someone who shows up and parses blue than someone who misses every other week but parses high when they do show up

thick kelp
#

Higher correlation between parsing high and showing up100% than parsing blue and showing up100%

hazy flower
#

Ye

crystal spruce
#

i parse blue and also dont show up

thick kelp
#

Logically thinking the parse blue guy is skipping alot of days and only shows up70% and thats the reason he parses blue

hazy flower
thick kelp
#

5head

crystal spruce
#

good idea

hazy flower
storm prism
#

Reroll every week and complain when you don't get funneled

hazy flower
#

??

#

Where did that come from

#

Lmfao

storm prism
#

It was a joke

bright whale
storm prism
#

what

neat peak
#

The amount of dmg I do on live Single target vs fury ST is disgusting

native obsidian
neat peak
#

Current live server.

I went back and forth on some bosses and average dps was nearly 120k higher.

Average

#

Ahhh easier than Warlock (Desto/Demo) ?

narrow flax
#

destro pretty easy too

#

not sure about demo

#

but deva evoker is surely one of the easier damage specs to play casually imo

#

very little buttons

#

for your rotation

#

to optimize it, its a bit more difficult and in depth

bright whale
#

I am willing to put some effort/time into it

narrow flax
#

i'd suggest looking into devastation evoker

#

fun spec

Hey guys, im coming back now and I heard that the colossus arms is very strong. can i trust?

dire hinge

In PVE, currently both Arms hero talents are very middle-of-the-pack, with Slayer being stronger than Colossus.
Fury currently pulls ahead of both in overalls, but Arms is still perfectly fine to play

MAY IT DROP

unless they giga buff arms

#

fury has a better damage profile, defensives and loses less st for going aoe in m+

#

ye and even if they buff arms, fury is just wayyy tankier. especially after the seasoned soldier nerf(yes i know all avoidance passives got nerfed)

latent moss
#

not to mention fury can take endurance training

#

for arms its way too big of a loss

#

and arms needs it more

#

its comical

#

where they put that talent

rare kite
#

how can fury take endurance training? it's still in the last part of talents. requires 20 points

latent moss
#

drop both wild strikes

#

fury "can" get away with dropping wild strikes

#

arms cant

#

its still a sizable dps loss

#

but arms loses way too much

rare kite
#

ye ig, the aa attack speed is big for arms

latent moss
#

obviously u will drop it for endurance training if u need to as arms its just that fury has an easier time

yeye, fury doesn't rely on it for rage gen

we do have a heal on a CD, which isn't as good as WoG/FoL spam, but we can survive a fair amount that usually wipes others.

while not exactly the best "test", we can survive that Forbidden Flounder solo, for example

Arms is vulnerable to rot but insane for on demand damage reduction. Not many classes can say they have on demand 15% DR... (Defensive stance is strong as Hell)

astral yarrow
#

Sucks that all your mitigation is proactive though ratge

hazy flower
#

Its not vulnerable to rot really

#

Its just not fury

teal fossil

It’s def one of the worse classes for rot tbh

Most specs have some random button to beat rot except arms

But arms is fine for rot if you take fvb

Arms is just fine

i've just been playing fury

but thats preferance

arms might be op but fury just plays better yep

although arms nerfed now so no reason to play that over fury

magic canopy
#

yar

#

big MS nerf

slow saddle
#

yeah so arms and fury are equal ?

timid kelp
#

Fury has everything you can ask for defensive wise and then some. Arms is stacked but pretty much nothing compares to fury so okayge

boreal quartz
#

as cringe as it plays if it does the most damage in p3 out of anyone

#

it has value

timid kelp
#

The discussion was purely about defensives. Atleast from my part 🙃

boreal quartz
#

neither of them will get turbo farmed in mythic

#

so i like looking at damage

timid kelp
#

Arms execute dmg has allways been a niche yeah. And it's a good one to have for sure. Fyrakk progression comes to mind defensive wise. P1 was night and Day difference for arms and Fury (this is S3). You were panic mode with 10 dot stacks as arms and kinda chilling at 15stacks as Fury still.

#

Ofc. The correct play is just blame The healers but still. There was a noticable difference

minor gust

pretty big

reef glade
#

not bad

#

but yknow could be better

#

700 aspect crests to farm instead of 1000

minor gust
#

Yeah I think a heftyer discount would be better because you potentially will already have the gear for the character thanks to warbound gear dropping on ur main so you are just really gated to crest farming

graceful axle
#

not sure cause i wasn't fully paying attention to the interview, guildie said that there is a warband bonus as well for raid drops and such

#

can't confirm or deny cause sub only vod 👍

woven wasp

we've known that since blizzcon

#

lower level pieces of gear will drop from stuff you do thats warbound

I think it's meant as additional crests

Hi warriors, new warrior here, any one with a macro that presses thunderclap if talented but defaults to rend if thunderclap is not selected as a talent?

dire hinge
#
  • The “[known]” part acts as an “if” statement
  • While “;” acts as the “else”, or a fallback
frigid lava
#

Why would you cast rend instead of thunderclap?

dire hinge
#

With the new updates you want to use natural Rend over TClap in single target

woven herald
#

really nice of you 🙂

dire hinge
#

Always happy to help!

dire hinge
# frigid lava how so? curiosity

With the prepatch changes, TClap and Rend both cost the same Rage amount now, but Rend has a larger upfront punch to it. It’s a small dps increase, but it’s there.

The macro would make it so you don’t even have to think about it based on your talents.

woven herald
#

Another question sorry, I'm not quite sure if we ever (never say never) use whirlwind when we have cleave talented. Do we?

dire hinge
#

Cleave now replaces Whirlwind as an ability (if talented)

woven herald
#

omg it says right there haha

You’re totally fine haha, it’s a fresh change and unexpected

Does cleave hit harder than slam for ST If you play The "m+" builds that run cleave

slow saddle
#

no but it keeps up the buff

timid kelp
#

Or is slam still better ST Button for bosses and what not

slow saddle
#

from tier

#

so id say if u have NO op no ms rdy id prob just use it to keep buff up

#

but in gen u will slam if buff is up

wanton sierra
#

in all my time as arms warrior... slam aways felt wack to press.... i lie, on bfa season 4 there was an azerite trait that you could stack that was cruushing assault... that would give us an smoll chance to slam to proc but it deals tons of dam (and you could stack 3x, so slam was hittin massive, okish on pvp... but low proc rate)

#

slam need some love... idk every 5th slam shall be 3x its dam (critable)... or every criteed slam restore ms cd and next ms cost no rage

Arms used to be the slower spec (now debatedly as fast as fury) where rage management was your primary focus. I want to slam but should I? TWW feels better but it's still pretty hard to int yourself spending too much rage compared to some previous iterations

boreal quartz

SL was neat

warped spade

SL was one of the better ones
